Top PACs

An institution in American politics for decades, political action committees collect contributions
from employees (in the case of businesses) or members (in the case of labor unions or ideological groups) and direct
them to candidates and party committees. Contributions to and from PACs are limited by federal law.

*For ease of identification, the names used in this section are those of the organization connected with the PAC,
rather than the official PAC name. For example, the "Coca-Cola Company Nonpartisan Committee for Good Government" is simply
listed as "Coca-Cola Co."
